apt upgrade to testing breaks?
I'd like to upgrade my etch notebook to testing, simply to have newer
packages available. This machine is not visible on the internet, and I'm
the only user, so security is not such a huge issue. Attempting to do
this though - apt says it'll uninstall certain packages (which I use!)
I'm not sure if I can go ahead and do the dist-upgrade, and just install
the packages again after. I don't want to try this and have to
re-install the notebook from scratch again (it's quite a hassle getting
everything working)
Any advice appreciated. sources.list and output from apt-get dist-upgrade:
